Huddersfield went even closer to breaking the deadlock in the 28th minute. Josh Emmanuel's loose clearance allowed Elias Kachunga to strike the inside of the post and Nahki Wells' well-hit rebound was pushed aside by Bialkowski.

In a first half of few clear-cut chances, Grant Ward latched onto Leon Best's strong flick-on but the angle was against him and his side-footed volley missed the far post.

Huddersfield right-back Tommy Smith had the first chance of the second half when he arrived to meet an overhit cross but his goalbound shot was deflected just over by fellow full back Jonas Knudsen.

And it was the visitors who grabbed the game's only goal in the 58th minute when Aaron Mooy's corner was headed in at the near post by Schindler.

Freddie Sears got the crowd going in the 66th minute with a rare shot on goal for the hosts but his effort from the edge of the area was straight at Danny Ward.

They went even closer in the 81st minute when Knudsen's teasing cross saw under-pressure Ward push the ball out and Teddy Bishop's poked effort was stopped from going in by a combination of Hogg and the keeper.
